Double Chin Mesotherapy in Denizli: What to Expect

Fullness under the chin can make the face look heavier and older than it is, and it shows even more in photographs, especially those taken from below. This fullness is not always caused by fat. Because double chin mesotherapy acts only on fat tissue, the first step is to work out where the fullness comes from.

What Causes a Double Chin?

Fullness under the chin has several possible causes, and more than one is often present:

• Fat: increases with weight gain, but can also run in families in people who are not overweight.
• Sagging skin: with age, the skin of the neck and under the chin loses its elasticity.
• Bone structure: a receding chin makes even a normal amount of fat look more prominent.

Part of a swelling under the chin can also come from another structure, such as a salivary gland, a lymph node or the thyroid. We do not plan injections without making this distinction at the examination.

Who Is Double Chin Mesotherapy Suitable For?

Double chin mesotherapy works better in people who have a soft, limited fat deposit under the chin that can be held between the fingers, skin that has kept its elasticity, and a stable weight. At the examination we gently pinch the skin to assess the thickness of the fat and how much sagging contributes.

What Results Can You Realistically Expect?

Double chin mesotherapy is not surgery or liposuction. The fat reduces slowly over the sessions, and the decrease in fullness under the chin is assessed after several sessions. The change varies from person to person; in some the neckline becomes clearly sharper, while in others the slimming is more modest. If weight goes up, the area under the chin can fill out again.

How Is Double Chin Mesotherapy Done?

1. The treatment area under the chin is marked, keeping away from important structures at the front of the neck.
2. The area is cleaned and a numbing cream is applied.
3. The fat-dissolving solution is placed into the fat beneath the skin with fine needles, through closely spaced points.

We set the interval between sessions so that each new session is done only after the swelling from the previous one has fully settled.

How Should You Prepare for Double Chin Mesotherapy?

Because swelling may be visible for a few days after a session, we advise against booking just before an important day such as a wedding, a meeting or a photo shoot. If you take aspirin, a blood thinner or herbal supplements, tell us at the examination; they can increase the chance of bruising. Do not stop a medicine on your own; if needed, the decision is made together with the doctor who prescribed it.

What Happens Under the Chin After a Session?

Because the fat-dissolving substance triggers an inflammatory reaction in the tissue, swelling, tenderness, redness and bruising are expected in the first days. You may feel temporary numbness or firmness in the area. Rarely, the nerve that moves the lower lip is affected for a while and you may notice asymmetry when smiling; let us know if this happens. If any unexpected difficulty swallowing or breathing occurs, go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital without waiting.

Who Should Not Have Double Chin Mesotherapy?

• Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding
• People with an infection or open wound in the treatment area
• People whose swelling under the chin is caused by a structure other than fat
• People with a known allergy to the ingredients in the solution

Which Method Is Considered When Sagging Is the Main Problem?

If the main reason for the appearance under the chin is loose skin, a fat-dissolving injection alone is not enough. In that case methods that tighten the deeper tissue, such as HIFU tightening under the chin, are considered; when fat and sagging occur together, the two methods can be sequenced in one plan. The technique used for fat dissolving is one form of the mesotherapy method, which is also used with different mixtures on the face and scalp.
